Research Notes

• 1775 Vendue Sale: Elizabeth Harmantrout; Will Book 5, Augusta County, Virginia, pages 462-466; 7 August 1775; Vendue sale for the Goods and Chattels of Elizabeth Harmantrout, lately deceased; Held at the house of Philip Armantrout; Purchasers include: Peator Armantrout, Henry Kisor, Edward Mold, David Harned, “little Geo. Armantrout,” and others. ^[6]
• Note that Rockingham County was not formed from Augusta, until 1778. So all of these people could have been living in the area that became Rockingham.

Discrepancies

• Her youngest son -- Johannes Emerich Ermentraudt -- is said to be born after her husband died and after she immigrated to America.

• Her death date, Aug 7 1775, is the same as the wife Anna Elizabeth Hedrick (1724-1775) of son Johann Michael Ermentraudt (1717-1753). Heritage Museum list for Peaked Mountain Church Cemetery Tombstones has Elizabeth Ementraut (Armentraut) (1725 - Oct 7 1795) which does not match this profile person for either date, but matches birthdate of son's wife. It states that there are other unmarked graves.

• Anna was born before 1699. She passed away in 1775.
